March 2026 Market Update 📊

The Metro Vancouver housing market continued at a steady but slower pace in March. Sales totaled 2,032, down 2.8% compared to March last year and nearly 32% below the 10-year average, showing demand is still below typical spring levels.

Inventory remains elevated, with 14,774 active listings, about 38% above the long-term average. At the same time, fewer new listings came to market compared to last year, helping keep overall inventory relatively stable.

The overall benchmark home price is now $1,104,300, down 6.8% year-over-year, but up slightly from February, suggesting prices are holding relatively steady for now.

The sales-to-active listings ratio sits at 14.2%, keeping the market in balanced territory. Buyers continue to benefit from choice and negotiating room, while sellers still need to price strategically to stand out.

Overall, both buyers and sellers appear to be taking a more cautious, wait-and-see approach as we move deeper into the spring market.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to walk you through what these market conditions mean for your specific situation.

Not every home improvement adds value when you’re preparing to sell.

Many homeowners assume that major renovations will help their property stand out. In reality, that isn’t always the case.

In many situations, presentation has a greater impact than renovation. Simple updates like paint, lighting, decluttering, and staging can make a home feel brighter, cleaner, and more move-in ready.

This post breaks down which improvements tend to pay off - and which ones are often better left to the next owner.

February 2026 Market Update 📊

The Metro Vancouver housing market continued at a slower pace in February. Sales totaled 1,648, down 9.8% compared to February last year and nearly 29% below the 10-year average, showing that the quieter market conditions we saw in January are continuing.

Inventory remains elevated, with 13,545 active listings, about 37% higher than the long-term average. Interestingly, fewer sellers listed their homes compared to last year, with new listings down slightly — particularly in the apartment segment.

The overall benchmark home price is now $1,100,300, down 6.8% year-over-year, but essentially unchanged from January, suggesting prices are stabilizing for now.

The sales-to-active listings ratio sits at 12.6%, which places the market close to balanced territory. In practical terms, buyers are still seeing more choice and negotiating room, while sellers need to price carefully to attract interest.

As we move toward the spring market, the key question will be whether buyer demand begins to pick up or if this slower pace continues through the first half of the year.

Buying a home is exciting - but the purchase price is only the starting point.

Beyond your down payment, there are additional expenses that can significantly impact your total cost at completion.

Most buyers should budget an additional 2-4% of the purchase price for closing costs.

Understanding the full cost of ownership prevents expensive surprises.

If you’re planning a purchase and want clarity on what your numbers actually look like, let’s walk through them properly.
